I really liked this chapter. It showed us how good the general actually is, specially his decision making and his wisdom. I liked this chapter. Looking forward to the next ones. If there is someone who isn't enjoying it, shame on you.
@skilso: If you are expecting the type of intimacy that we saw in the very first chapter, then sadly there won't be any of that anymore, as most of those kind of stuff would take a "events happening in the background" plot.
But we would be getting slight glimpse of nice figures (like the previous chapter) from time to time.
